In 'The Kingdom of Cain', Andrew Klavan delves into the dark side of human nature to discover how one can find joy and beauty in a world filled with evil and suffering. The book looks at three murders in history, including Cain's killing of Abel, and analyzes the art created from these horrific events by artists such as Fyodor Dostoevsky and Alfred Hitchcock. Klavan argues that it is possible to be clear-eyed about the evil in the world while remaining hope-filled about God's ability to redeem it all. He emphasizes that making beauty out of a world shot through with evil and injustice is a task not just for artists but for every life rightly lived.
Today on the Matt Walsh Show, this will sound like a rerun. A guy committed cold-blooded murder, and now the social media mob is rallying around him. In this case, the victim was a retired police officer. This is the third killer in the past few months to find a cheering section on social media. What the hell is going on? Also, Trump delivers a perfect response to the totally fake “AI Pope Trump” controversy. And the state of Virginia passes a law restricting social media use for kids. I'm told this is a slippery slope and "government overreach." I'm not persuaded.
